Fiona Terry Osteopathy

I am an experienced, registered, insured and gentle Osteopath specialising in Biodynamic and Cranial Osteopathy. Osteopathy is the philosophy and system for the practice first proposed by A. It emphasizes the interrelationship between structure and function of the body and recognizes the body's ability to heal itself; it is the role of the osteopathic practitioner to facilitate that process. The o

steopathic philosophy is defined as the concept of health care that embraces the concept of the unity of the living organism’s structure (anatomy) and function (physiology). These are the four major principles of osteopathy.
1.The body is a unit. An integrated unit of mind, body, and spirit (Triune of Man - A.T. Still).
2.The body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms, having the inherent capacity to defend, repair, and remodel itself.
3.Structure and function are reciprocally inter-related.
4.Rational therapy is based on consideration of the first three principles. These principles are not held by osteopathic physicians to be empirical laws; they serve, rather, as the underpinnings of the osteopathic philosophy on health and disease.
